1t Is not often possible TO look over one

Ing somewhere in il the unpleasGntly sug-
Gestive headlines: Shot by n Burglar"
or stabbed by q Burglar" followed by
details Of the murder or wounding Of some

pursue and "grnpple with" the intruder.

seized or obstructed in making his exit he
will stab or shoot without hesitation or

happen to be disturbed by burglars raids
should nave this truth in mind. BY all
means, if it is possible, the burglar ought
to be shot, for he is at heart a murderous
dog, not ut to live; but IL the revolver is
not within reach, whatever else you may

Some Of the anecdotes told about
Senator Camden's Observation-Disclosures
are amusing. The day before his
daughter was married to young
Lieutenant in the army Mr.. Camden
was sitting ut his desk writing. The
Lieutenant came in and spoke to him.
and Senator Camden conversed with
him for a moment and the young man
bowed himself out. Mr.. Camden
turned to a brother Senator and said:
Il have seen that young man before:
do know who he is?" YES" was the
answer: ''he is is the young man who
is to marry Your daughter tomorrow
Another time the Senator received and
accepted All invitation to a dinner ut
the house of Senator Gibson. A few
days afterward he found lying on his
desk. the invitation to dinner. ..See
here Frank he said to his private
secretary; ..here is an invitation to
Gibson's dinner. must go right up
there and apologize to the Senator for
not attending. forgot all about it. :"

tary. .you went to that dinner. Don't

the Senator. Il remember now, / was

We sigh for a longer sphere.
Something not half 50 tedious,
Something more noble and grand,
Some great work that shall bear our name
And herald il through the land.
So we fret and we chafe in the harness,
And sigh for larger space,
Forgetting the duties that lie 30 near,
Still staring rs In tue face.
Oh Mothers. what name could be grander
VIVA. honors more nobly won
Than the name and the place that mother
Holds in the heart OF q son.
Let him climb to the heights that you sighed
for.
Let him rest in the Temple OF Fame,
BE content that you work and your mission
Was to kindle in his heart the flame.
